The Sourcing Hero

Ep 186: A Faith Journey That Leads Through the Workplace feat. Jennifer Sterbling


Listen Later

Procurement is a difficult field to work in. Days are busy, unpredictable, and often stressful. Each person’s ability to perform despite the challenges determines not only their evaluation or procurement’s evaluation, but the financial success of the entire company. Doesn’t it make sense to look for guidance and support from a higher power?

In this episode of The Sourcing Hero podcast, Host Kelly Barner welcomes Jennifer Sterbling, a Senior Manager of Indirect Procurement. Jennifer has expertise in both indirect and direct procurement as well as category management, sourcing, supplier management, and contract negotiation.

In this interview, Jennifer and Kelly talk about the role that faith plays in how they conduct themselves professionally:

  • What it means to bring your whole self to work when you are a person of faith
  • Approaching all colleagues with compassion and active listening but not evangelism
  • The benefits of stopping to think - and pray - about the consequential decisions facing procurement professionals
